I found this link:<BR/>http://members.tripod.com/~vajrang/littleworld/stories.html<BR/>which has a number of the Don Camillo<BR/>stories (in English). I spent a very happy afternoon reading away (and goofing off from work!). Thanks for the lovely reminder. And enjoy your book, and all the newfound friends!<BR/>KaminiKaminihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105753566208526507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8643109.post-53766511481776471302008-01-21T09:59:00.000+00:002008-01-21T09:59:00.000+00:00The name sounds interesting.
